AI that writes your life story
Remember This turns the artifacts of your life—photos, voice memos, transactions, and projects—into a private archive on your own Mac. Then it puts that archive to work: drafting your biography one chapter at a time, and giving your AI the context to help with everyday life.

AI is powerful. But it doesn't know your life.
Your photos, voice memos, transactions, and projects live across many apps and formats.
When you ask AI for help, it lacks the context needed to assist with real-world situations.
As a result, AI stays mostly limited to answering questions instead of assisting with everyday life.
The artifacts of your life, structured for AI
Remember This organizes what you already capture into a structure your AI can work with.
Photos
Voice Memos
Transactions
Projects
Notes
All become structured markdown files in a local folder. That folder becomes the context layer your AI can read and reason about.
Useful from day one
Practical help with the things that take up your time
Capture ideas instantly
Record a quick voice memo. Your AI can turn it into tasks, notes, or reminders.
Manage life projects
Use markdown folders for things like home renovation, family logistics, financial planning, or personal goals. Your AI can read the entire project context.
Handle everyday admin
AI can help classify transactions, reconstruct expenses, summarize days or weeks, fill forms, and organize documents.
What this looks like in practice
Real examples of AI using personal context to help with everyday situations
“What was that charge on my card?”
Without context
Unrecognized charge. You check your calendar, scroll through messages, try to remember. Give up and categorize as “miscellaneous.”
With Remember This
AI checks your photos and voice memos from that day. “That’s the pharmacy stop after your daughter’s swimming lesson.”
“Submit my February timesheet”
Without context
End of month. You have tracked hours, but summarizing them into the right format, splitting by client, and double-checking contract terms takes an hour of tedious work.
With Remember This
AI reads your tracked hours, applies the right contract rules per client, fills the portal. Five minutes instead of an hour.
“Fill our arrival cards”
Without context
Four family passports, flight numbers, hotel address, nationalities. Fumbling through emails and booking confirmations at the airport.
With Remember This
AI already knows every family member, passport number, flight details, hotel. Fills 100 form fields across 4 submissions via browser automation.
“Translate this medical report”
Finnish medical assessment → translated to Swedish, archived in family knowledge base, sent to spouse. AI knows the family member, the language pair, the right chat.
“Pack for the family trip”
Coordination across 8+ task lists for a family of four. Voice memos parsed into individual packing lists. AI knows all members, flight details, house-closing procedures.
Gets more powerful over time
As you use the system over months and years, your AI gains access to the history of your life. This enables deeper assistance.
Write an annual update to friends and family, drawn from a year of photos, memos, and milestones.
Reconstruct a weekend from years ago—who was there, where you went, what you talked about.
See how relationships evolved—who you spent time with, how social circles shifted over the years.
Spot patterns in how your time and money are spent, across months or years of structured context.
A personal biographer and advisor — and as of v0.12, that's no longer a metaphor.
Remember This writes your life story
The Life Book tab drafts your biography from what your archive already knows—where you've lived, who keeps appearing in your photos, what your voice memos talk about. It splits your life into eras automatically and writes one focused chapter at a time, in the background, in minutes.
Chapters, not a data dump
Pick an era—the most recent is pre-selected—and get one focused, readable chapter. Come back to the same era anytime; each pass builds on the last.
It interviews you
While writing, it asks the few questions only you can answer—who's in the 2019 photos, what mattered that year. Answer by voice or text; corrections are remembered for every future chapter.
Never a black box
You always see whether it's writing (step away), waiting on your answers, or done. Your life story stays in plain markdown, in your folder, like everything else.
Your life shouldn't live in someone else's database.
Everything in Remember This lives in a single folder on your computer.
Plain markdown files
Human-readable, editable with any text editor, versionable with git.
Media you own
Photos and voice memos stay on your Mac. No cloud uploads, no telemetry.
Any AI, any time
Works with Claude Code, OpenClaw, or any MCP-compatible agent. Your tools may change. Your context remains yours.
How It Works
Capture
Photos, voice memos, transactions, and notes. Use the tools you already have—iPhone, Apple Watch, or a text editor.
Structure
Remember This organizes everything into markdown files with timestamps, people, places, and metadata. All on your Mac.
Use
AI tools read that folder to help with tasks, analysis, and decision-making. The richer your context, the more useful AI becomes.

See all posts →v0.12.0: Write Your First Chapter
The biggest thing we've built so far: Remember This now attempts to write your life story — drafting a biography from your photos, places, people, and timeline, one focused chapter at a time, and asking you only the few questions it can't answer itself. Plus: answer its questions by voice, and a fix for a mic bug that was silently blocking recording.
v0.11.0: Better Local AI on Your Mac
The follow-up to the May benchmark: per-tier model picks land as defaults, Apple Silicon Macs caption photos through SwiftLM at about 10× the previous speed, and Power Mode keeps heavy backfill from eating your battery on the road. Plus voice-memo queue improvements, Abort / Re-transcribe buttons, and a VLM circuit breaker.
Local AI on Mac: A May 2026 Benchmark
Two weeks benchmarking inference runtimes and models across an Intel i9 and an M1 Max, kicked off by one production captioning crash. What works, where the cliffs are, and the concrete model swaps Remember This v0.11 will ship.
AI becomes far more useful when it understands your life.
Remember This provides the context that makes that possible. Start building the context layer for your life.
